E2F factors are implicated in various cellular processes including specific gene induction at the G1/S transition of the cell cycle. We present in this study a novel regulatory aspect for the tobacco large subunit of ribonucleotide reductase (R1a) and its encoding gene (RNR1a) in the UV-C response. By structural analyses, two E2F sites were identified on the promoter of this gene. Functional analysis showed that, in addition to their role in the specific G1/S induction of the RNR1a gene, both E2F sites were important for regulating specific RNR1a gene expression in response to UV-C irradiation in non-synchronized and synchronized cells. Concomitantly, western blot and cellular analyses showed an increase of a 60 kDa E2F factor and a transient translocation of a GFP-R1a protein fusion from cytoplasm to nucleus in response to UV irradiation.
